Back At ONE!!!

TheBOSTON CELTICSare the Beast of the East.TheLOS ANGELES LAKERSare the Best in the West.

There's an excellent chance that the NBA'stwo most successful franchises will once againbattle it out for the NBA Championship,

just like they did twenty years ago,during the Magic vs. Bird era.

The '80s are back!!!!

from espn.com:

Frustrated after the Lakers failed to win a playoff seriesfor the third straight season,all-world shooting guard Kobe Bryantspent the early summer months starring in the hit drama,"Trade Me, Don't Trade Me, Trade Me"because he thought the Lakers were in rebuilding mode.

The Lakers began the seasonby winning just nine of their first 17 games.

Then, Center Andrew Bynum, who is all of 20 years old,emerged as the favorite for Most Improved Playerby averaging 13.1 points and 10.2 rebounds.

As the Lakers began to click,Bynum dislocated his left knee on Jan. 13and has yet to return to action.

The Lakers fleeced the Grizzlies in a trade on Feb. 1,acquiring All-Star Pau Gasol for benchwarmer Kwame Brown.
